Springview Sweets Bakery is no longer located at the Lockport Metra Station. As of Aug. 2, the bakery vacated the premises and switched to a more remote business model.

Fans of the establishment’s baked goods can still place custom orders with the owner Megan Saunders and will be able to catch her at The Lockport Market in the Metra parking lot on select Saturdays in 2025, alongside other local vendors.

Several special fall and Halloween-themed markets are also taking place in September and October. The Spooky Market on Sept.1 as well as the Lockport Fall Market on Sept. 28 and the Lockport Halloween Market on Oct. 26. More information is available on the Springview Sweets Facebook page.

The former Springview Sweets location inside the train station will be occupied starting in October, by a new bakery, Nicola’s Heavenly Cucina, which specializes in Italian pastries and sourdough bread goods.
