Our Team

We bring different perspectives to the table, but we’re united by a love of good coffee, welcoming spaces, and real connection.

Katie McNeil

I focus on supporting the team and helping create a warm, welcoming space where coffee and wellness come together - inviting people to relax, recharge, and feel taken care of. I love the opportunity to support a new, family-owned small business and help build community.

I spend my free time going for bike rides, taking walks with my dog, getting lost in a good book, tending to my growing succulent collection and spending time with my husband.

Co-owners

Stuart Nitzkin & Ivy Sukenik

We’re Ivy and Stu, a sister-brother duo who built Frunchroom Collective as an extension of the home we grew up in — just north of Chicago, in a house that was always open to friends, neighbors, and anyone who needed a place to hang out.

Our parents created a space full of laughter and connection, where Friday Night Dinners were a cherished tradition with friends and family. That same vibe is what we’re bringing to Libertyville: a welcoming spot to gather, connect, and stay awhile.
