In the sentence "I went to a cafe, but I ordered too much," you have two independent clauses:

1. "I went to a cafe" (independent clause)
2. "I ordered too much" (independent clause)

The conjunction "but" connects these two independent clauses. There are no dependent clauses in this sentence.

In the sentence "I went to a cafe; however, I couldn't decide," you have two independent clauses:

1. "I went to a cafe" (independent clause)
2. "I couldn't decide" (independent clause)

The term "however" is used here as a transitional word. To properly connect these two independent clauses, you should use a semicolon before "however" or start a new sentence.

So you could punctuate it as follows:

- With a semicolon: "I went to a cafe; however, I couldn't decide."
- As two separate sentences: "I went to a cafe. However, I couldn't decide."

In either case, there are no dependent clauses in this sentence.
