(conjuctions: as and because)

#1 After her coffee Kate went to a newsagent's shop.( don't know)
Adverbial prepositional phrase. There should be a comma after it.
#2
After she had drunk her coffee, she went to a nersagent's shop.(adverbial clause)
Yes. After is a preposition in the first and a cinjunctuion in the second.
#3
After she had missed the train, she didin't know what to do at first.(adverbial clauses of time)
(conjuntions: after,before,while,till/untill,when,as soon as)
Yes.
#4 So she went to the station cafe`,
whereshe wanted to have a cup of coffee. (adverbial clauses of place and direction)
(conjunction: where)
In this case, I would say that the clause is adjectival. It is describing the cafe more than modifying the verb. You could change "where" to "in which".
#5
As there wasn't enough room between the tables she put double bass in a corner. She went to buy a newspaper
because she had enough time now.( adverbial clauses of reason)
(conjuctions: as and because)
Yes. There should be an article before "double bass".
#6
Although she had left it for only a few minutes, it had gone.
(adverbial clauses of concession)
(conjunctions: although, though, even though)
Yes. I wouldn't use "it had gone". How about "it was missing".
#7
If she hadn't left it there, the driver wouldn't taken it.( adverbial clauses of condition = if clauses)
(conjuntions: if, unless)
Yes. The driver wouldn't have taken it.
