Employee Turned Owner Brings Life To Maywood Coffee Shop
MAYWOOD, N.J. — Six coffee cups and several food wrappers are cluttered in the center of a table at Stray Cat Brew in Maywood where four teenagers are sitting. They've been at the West Pleasant Avenue shop since school let out two hours ago, and don't plan on going home for another few, they said. "My mom calls me and asks when I'm coming home," said Gabby, 13. "I'm like, 'Uh, never.'" She says Stray Cat Brew is a "chill" environment with few rules, and owner Michael Zier is "super nice." And if it weren't for him, she'd still be "chilling"…
