ALT International Food Inc

Another option on Cortelyou Road is ALT International Food Inc, a grocery store that leans into produce. Shoppers in Kensington and Ditmas Park often circle back when they need vegetables or fruit that feel closer to what they’d find in a market abroad. The selection isn’t the usual supermarket spread—it skews toward ingredients you might not spot elsewhere on the block. Across from the post office at 920 Cortelyou Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11218, they keep the bins well-stocked. A quick call to (718) 282-5270 can confirm what’s fresh before you walk over.
