Its name sounds like something out of a Carry On film.
But some residents in the historic village of Henlow in Bedfordshire are failing to see the funny side of a newly opened business.
A petition and letter of complaint has been handed to owner John O'Toole, decrying his bakery's choice of title: Nice Baps.
The 42-year-old only opened up his shop last Wednesday, but angry local residents have already objected to the name.
John said: 'A little petition was handed in and I had a letter from one of the local schools who said they thought the name was trashy.
'So I tried to explain to them that I do small baps and big baps and they're nice and firm!'
But the dad-of-three stressed: 'Since I came to Henlow I think 90 per cent of the people think the shop's great on the whole.'
John claimed his wife dreamed up the name, adding: 'I've got another shop in Caddington called the same and I've had no complaints there.
But a teacher at Henlow's Raynsford VC Lower School wrote to John claiming she was worried about the 'effect' the name may have on impressionable children.
She refused to comment on the issue last night.
