"While she takes the call"

I give a conversation below: In the conversation, I don't understand the meaning of a sentence. Please help me understand the meaning.

Helen: ... it's really amazing how beautiful Hawaii is. I mean, you couldn't think of anywhere more beautiful.

Anna: Excuse me, but Tom is on the phone.

Helen: Thanks Anna. This will only take a moment.

Anna: Can I bring you some coffee while she takes the call?

Here I don't understand the meaning of the sentence "Can I bring you some coffee while she takes the call?". What does the sentence mean?
