Thompson was named Orange County Chef of the Year in 2002 at Catal Restaurant in Downtown Disney (Anaheim).

Bret left the Patina group to pursue his dream of opening his own business.

At the - MILK Café Ice Cream Parlor and Bakeshop - the exacting Thompson has displayed a keen eye towards quality of food product, uncompromised service, and a well-trained high-energy staff.

Since the opening of MILK in February 2007 - Thompson has won the hearts of Angelinos and critics alike with his innovative approach to homemade cooking - including simple seasonal cuisine, ice creams and baked goods.

MILK’s accolades include 4 Medals for ice cream at the (2008) Summer Los Angeles International Dairy Competition (2008), praises from the LA Times, Business Week, Town and Country, and recipes featured prominently in Bon Appetite magazine.
