Complimentary food

[Bumbling Bee]

Hey all! So things have gotten pretty convoluted in my head about what's free and what's not. Could someone lay out some of the less obvious free vs paid goodies? For instance, I've heard pastries from cove cafe are free, whereas you have to pay for soda at a bar. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you!

Thanks PrincessShmoo! You're always a great help!

Well, it's not all my own work, but thanks. I just put together various lists that others have posted during my time here. I thought it would be nice to have it all in one place.
